Hi TamiL, welcome to the forum. Hope you and your little one are getting along fine after a rough start. When our baby came home we had been having regular meetings, hand feeding lessons and expert advice from a breeder of three decades. It still scared me to be on my own. You have a good source of experience and caring here. I am a little late to the game with being out of state for an extended period. What have you named your baby?

You are so Right !! Thank You

She is syringe fed danmcq

The breeder also sent me a syringe and her dna certificate and of course how to feed her .

I am used to hand feeding did a lot of that in my life when getting baby birds that was 15 yrs ago but I am okay with it its just she wont take it she will not she tries to attack the big *** syringe and that's what she normally eats out of

She is eating because I give her lots to choice from and that's all she has done all day ..... Pellets,nutri berris,cheerios,apple juice,Homemade good bird bread,even some dehydrated safe fruits but she is soooo afraid she shakes when I even attempt to try and go in her cage and get her to take the formula

Thank You Nancy I wish I did in NY right now I am in Ohio but you are so sweet

Oh yes and I did call the vet she said they are out of town till friday of course that avian vet is are only avian vet

but like I said she is drinking and eating everything

Please if you have any suggestions that can help with are new baby African congo grey.

She arrived Yesterday after she endured 11 hours travel time from breeder to Us in are wonderful waiting home .She is only 12 wks and I thought she was 17 wks

She arrived by plane then we had to travel a hour with her home from the airport

There was a flight delay midway and I thought from what breeder said that she was going to make sure that the plane did not make any stops but of course that did not happen !!

So She is home and after cutting her out of her carrier that had zip ties everyplace I go to get her out and give her some nice warm perfect baby formula and she came barreling out of the carrier hissing and puffed out running at the syringe and bites it screams runs to the ground.I pick her up with a blanket and put her into her awaiting home now,she has had no water or formula for all this time so I put in water and some of the food that breeder was giving baby.

I watched as poor baby drunk the water like she was in a desert I cried as she went to a corner and got behind a big java perch in her cage and tried to hide her little eyes from us.She put her head in that corner and stayed so I covered her for the night it was late.

This morning I woke at 7:30 am to feed her and she still screams at the syringe then now tries to bite me and the syringe.I cannot get near her or she screams she drinks water as I seen but today I tried giving her a saucer of baby formula ,homemade birdy bread, oatmeal warm,Her pellets and nutri berris the breeder used nothing PLEASE HELP US !!

She goes to the Avian Vet Friday was the very first they had but shes not sick YET

Thank You so much

Thank You all very much for all the replies on this !!
